599502 - Use of sleep() causes random failures/hangs in testMasterPassword

Status: VERIFIED WORKSFORME

(Mozilla QA Graveyard :: Mozmill Tests, defect)

Description

[u279076]

File: firefox/restartTests/testMasterPassword/test1.js

  // Get the Remember Password button based on the above label              
  var button = tabBrowser.getTabPanelElement(
                 tabBrowser.selectedIndex,
                '/{"value":"password-save"}/{"label":"' + label + '"}'
               );

  UtilsAPI.assertElementVisible(controller, button, true);
  controller.waitThenClick(button, TIMEOUT);
  controller.sleep(500);
  controller.assertNodeNotExist(button);

The above sleep causes a failure sometimes in the Master Password test.  We should update the test to use a waitForEval instead.

Alongside the above, the code pasted shouldn't even work because we can't use getTabPanelElement for an expected notification box anymore because it's now changed to a doorhanger. This bug should depend on an API change

Please file a bug if there isn't one yet, so we can get the TabbedBrowsingAPI updated.

Move of Mozmill Test related project bugs to newly created components. You can

What's left for this bug? Simply refactor it to stop using sleep()?

I would leave it to you for now for investigation.

I did not see any sleep call in this test. Perhaps we changed it in another bug and forgot to close this one? 

Anyway, the code in Description does not appear to be in the test files. 1.9.2 branch? 
There was no branch stated in the bug report so perhaps I am missing the branch

Yeah, i think that I have fixed that in another bug a long time ago. Can't remember which one. So closing as wfm.
